My Reviews

A perfect title for a vacation from meatier RPGs with a delightful gameplay loop and funny scenarios. - mgtid from technetbook

While the game itself is wonderful, there are two less-than-wonderful things to point out: I'm still opposed to the upcharge for early access, and the inclusion of Denuvo DRM might affect performance for legitimate buyers. But neither of these takes away much from the overall great experience. - mgtid from

How do Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 and 4 fare. They’re not exact copies of the old games, but that’s okay. The Pro Skater 3 remake shines with its familiar setup and better visuals. Pro Skater 4 tries new things, and while some changes are hit or miss, adapting goals

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is, in short, a big and better form of what the first game did, and keeps the tale going. The many changes make it a lot better, smooth, and whole. It's still not for all the main job of moving stuff over hard land

An exceptional return to form with a revolutionary creative suite, held back only by a weak campaign and launch day woes. - mgtid from technetbook

Dying Light: The Beast, then, is a glorious return to form, making up for nearly all the major flaws of Dying Light 2 as well as hitting all the gritty, identify-giving horror of the original. While often weak, the dialogue potentially feels a bit safe, but the incredible attention to

Ghost of Yotei is a superb sequel that has confidently drawn its own path while paying respects to its predecessor. It takes a strong frame from Tsushima and enhances it with a more dynamic combat system, a much more engaging narrative structure, and a world that is simply delightful to

Expedition 33 has a lot that is unique and worthwhile, most notably the revolutionary combat, the enigma of the planet, and the incredible music. The disappointments due to the QTE integration, the lopsided challenges, and the early confusion with some systems hold it back from being completely seamless. It's a

RoboCop Rogue City - Unfinished Business feels like a classic add-on. It doesn't change much, but gives more of what fans loved from the first game. It's full of action, fun, and keeps true to its roots. Even with some tech troubles and a sense of the same old, being

Donkey Kong Bananza is a blast of new and fun ideas. It takes a big, brave leap and mostly nails it. The main play of breaking and finding stuff is super good, and the charm and amount of stuff you get is huge. But, you can't look past the big

WuChang: Fallen Feathers is a top and bold game in the Soulslike world. It knows what fans love and does well with those parts, and brings in cool new things like easy skill shifts and the think-ahead Madness bit. Though it drops a bit with late-game play fairness and could

Grounded 2 is what a follow-up needs to be. It stays true to the loved setup of the first and adds smart, big changes. The Omni-Tool, the Buggies, and the new fight style are not just small fixes; they truly make the base game better. - mgtid from technetbook

Mafia: The Old Country is a strong back to what the game was like before. It knows what it does well and does a lot of it, giving us a story with strong people that stays with you after it ends. While its game steps do just enough, they are

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a brilliant impersonation of one of the greatest games ever made. The greatest strength, however, is in its excellent umbilical fidelity. Every excruciatingly minute detail, each onced-well-concealed enigma, and all the quirks that pass for Kojima-esque oddities, are retained intact. You can still

Borderlands 4 A Looter-Shooter Masterpiece Hindered by Severe Technical Issues and a Terrible UI - mgtid from technetbook

A flawed masterpiece. Highly recommended for horror aficionados who can look past frustrating gameplay for an unforgettable story, but best to wait for a sale and a few patches. - Mgtid from technetbook
